More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a computer-implemented method (200) for determining an ovarian follicle count and size (diameter) from a 2-D transvaginal ultrasound scan. The method comprises receiving (210) at least one 2-D (two-dimensional) transvaginal ultrasound scan (15, 15'), comprising a plurality of 2-D ultrasound images (150, 150') captured along a translation direction (155, 155') of an ultrasound probe (14) used to capture said scan, detecting candidate follicles (152) in the plurality of 2-D ultrasound images of the at least one 2-D transvaginal ultrasound scan; segmenting (240) the detected candidate follicles to determine (248) an average diameter for each candidate follicle; and presenting (280) the determined average diameters and the segmentations of the detected candidate follicles. A computer program product, ultrasound image processing device and ultrasound imaging system adapted to implement this method are also disclosed.
